Hmm, two scans seem not enough either, I could see false positive easily
in a 'quick' group run, because some leaks are not reported immediately
after the test but after next test or next few tests. e.g. I saw
generic/008 (tested on XFS) being reported as leaking memory, and from
008.kmemleak I saw:
unreferenced object 0xffff880277679800 (size 512):
comm "nametest", pid 25007, jiffies 4300176958 (age 9.854s)
...
But "nametest" is only used in generic/007, the leak should be triggered
by generic/007 too, but 007 was reported as PASS in my case.
Not sure what's the best way to deal with these false positive, adding
more scans seem to work, but that's ugly and requires more test time..
What do you think?
Otherwise the whole check kmemleak framework looks fine to me.
